Rory Smith

Rory is a Product Manager at the Government Digital Service (GDS). He is part of the team building GOV.UK Pay, the new simple, secure way to pay for government services online. He has previously worked as an advisor to Mike Bracken and Stephen Foreshew-Cain as Executive Directors of GDS.

GOV.UK Pay is now compliant with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard. This means GOV.UK Pay can process credit and debit card payments on behalf of government and wider public sector organisations. Till Wirth and Rory Smith talk about the team's approach to security in the context of agile software development and continuous delivery.

About Government as a Platform

This blog is about our work with departments and agencies to build common components that can be shared and reused to make it easy for service teams across government to design, assemble and build services.
